I will start off with some pics of the finished product. More on senders and wiring later.

Autometer Competition Series are probably the closest match to the OEM instrument panel, but I didn't care for the Lexus-like always on illumination or the Autometer name for that matter. The Stack gauges light up LED white like the OEM panel and have a conservative, European design which looks nice.

I still like JonM stuff better, he is a reputable person has a reputable company. Why support other countries when the states is not in a good position, support businesses within the own country when ever possible.

do i need to install all 3 gauges? i only need the oil temp.
Also is it possible to install a timer or something, similar to the stopwatch on the performance steering wheel? just throwing ideas.

how much is the hardware?

Since you are looking for both oil temp and the stopwatch - the Performance Steering Wheel might be the alternative you're looking for. Otherwise, the gauge pods are only offered in triple gauge variety.
